LEO S. KOSITCHEK 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO COLUMBIA FASTENER COMPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

MUCILAGE-J'AB.

To 'all whom z't may concern:

Y Be it known that I, LEO S. KosrrcHELK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage-Jars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dispensing receptacles and will hereinafter be described with relation to the application of the invention to a mucilage jar or the like, although it is of course to be understood that it is susceptible to other uses without material modification.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a simple and practical dispensing jar particularly adapted for dispensing mucilage when inverted. Another object is to provide a device of the above character having an automatic self-closing outlet adapted to prevent hardening or evaporation of the contents of the jar. A further object is to simplify and reduce the cost of manufacture and assembling devices of the above character. Other objects will be in part obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

In the accompanying drawing embodying one of the various modifications of the present invention and wherein similar reference characters denote corresponding parts,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device in operative position; Fig. 2 is a vertical, sectional view of the complete device.

in operative position, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the parts in disassembled relation.

Referring now to the drawing in detail 5 denotes a receptacle of any desired type adapted to contain the liquid to be dis- .pensed. As herein shown it represents a small glass bottle containing glue as indicated at 6. This bottle is provided with a closing means in the form of a cap 7 of sheet metal or the like having indented slightly angularly disposed lugs 8 at opposite sides adapted to coact with similarly shaped pro- 'ection 9 on the neck of the bottle. This cap is provided with a central opening 10 and a projecting flange 11 preferably formed integrally therewith, adapted to smooth out the glue or liquid after the same has been applied in the manner shown in Flg. 1.

The automatic closing means is shown more clearly in Fig. 3 and comprises a hol- Specication of Letters Patent.

low button or stopper 12 of sheet metal provided with a flange 13 adapted to close the outwardly turned ends 16 resting on top of the neck of the bottle and within the cap 7. When the parts are assembled as shown in Fig. 2 it will be seen that on inverting the device and pressing slightly down thereon the button or closure 12 will be forced inwardly against the action of the spring 14, thereby allowing the glue to leak past the sides of the button 12, through the opening 10 on to the article to which it is desired to apply the glue. A y

After the application? of the glue the pressure member 1l is operated to smooth out the glue into a thin film, thus permitting the two sheets or parts to be pasted together'v most efliciently.

From the above it will be seen that the present invention provides a simple and practical dispensing device of the character herein set forth, adapted to accomplish, among others, all of the advantages herein set forth.

I realize that considerable variation is possible in the details of construction and arrangement' of parts Without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I there fore do not intend to limit myself to thel specific form shown and described.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a dispensing apparatus of the character described, in combination, a receptacle having an open ltop, a closure cap therefor having an opening therein, a movable member normally closing said opening, resilient means acting on said movable member, a support for said resilient means adapted to be clamped between the open top of the receptacle and the closing cap, said last mentioned means comprising a U-shapcd seat having a depending portion in which the resilient means is seated, and outwardly depending ends adapted to be gripped between the cap and the receptacle.I

2. In a dispensing apparatus of the character described, in combination, a receptacle having a neck portion adapted to contain the liquid to be dispensed, a cap having interfitting engagement therewith and provided with a central opening through which the liquid is adapted'to be dispensed, a button normally closing said opening, a spiral spring forcing said bntton to closed position, and a stopper supporting said spring I comprising a. U-shaped member depending downwardly into the neck of the receptacle and having outwardly extending portions adapted to 'be gripped between the cap and LEO S. KOSTCHEK.
